THE GREAT EXEMPLAR
Jesus said: “I have been setting you
an example, that you should do as I|
have done.” “If you know all this,
blessed are you if you really do it.” }
Jesus had to go the way of all flesh
in that He had to learn and grow and
aevelop in life as other people do.
Read Hebrews 2:10-18. 4.15. 5:7-10.
which says: “In bringing MANY sons
to glory, (God has a world full of sons)
it was befitting that God, for whom
and by whom the Universe exists,
should PERFECT Jesus, the Pioneer
of their salvation, by SUFFERING.
For sanctifier, (Jesus) and sanctified,
(the many sons) have all ONE ORI-
GIN. That is why he is not ashamed
to call them BROTHERS. He had to
resemble his brothers in EVERY RES-
PECT. It is as he suffered by his temp-
tations that he is able to help the tem-
pted. For He is one who has been
tempted in EVERY RESPECT like our-
selves. In the days of his flesh, Jesus,
with bitter cries and tears, offered
prayers and supplications to God who
is able to save him from death; and he
wus heard because of his godly res-
nect. (Though God did'nt save him
from death.) Thus, son though he was,
he learned BY ALL HE SUFFERED
how to obey, and by being thus made
perfect he became the source of eter-
nal salvation for all who obey Him.”
Now, if we can understand plain
English, what this writer of Hebrews
said was simply this, in other words:
Jesus walked the same road to sal-
vation that all of the sons of God
walk, under exactly the same con-
ditions, through the same trials and
temptations and difficulties, making
mistakes and suffering for them, having
to be corrected and re-oriented to the
laws of life, and growing into per-
tection by the same process that we
all do,—for there is no royal road to
perfection for anyone. “Son though
He was, HE LEARNED BY ALL HE
SUFFERED HOW TO OBEY.”
That is the way WE learn, and be- |
come perfect,—by suffering for our
mistakes we, as with Jesus, learn how
to obey, change our track and begin
again. What Jesus told Nicodemus he
would have to do, Jesus Himself had to
do—in the process of becoming per-
fect. He had learned that by exper-
ience,—just as we all learn by exper-
ience.
For instance: “In the days of His
flesh, WITH BITTER CRIES AND
TEARS, He offered up prayers.” Why
the “bitler cries ana tears?” The ob-
vious answer is: Jesus, in company
with all the rest of humanity, wanted
many things that he could’nt have, and
when our wants clash with imposs-
ibilities, the result is, “bitter cries and
tears.” Jesus beleived that He wanted,
had a right to ask, certain things of
lifc because of His intent and purpose
and high ambitions for Himself an hu-
manity. And He tried hard for the
things that He wanted, put his whole
soul into it, had high hopes and faith
that He would get them, beleived that
the things He desired MUST certainly
come to pass, beleived that God and all
ruen were for it,—then discovered that
He couldn’t have the great desire of his
Leart, that, on the contrary, He must
cou something that His whole soul com-
WARD OFF GAS PAINS;
GAS CROWDS HEART
“For years constipation caused me
headaches and pains in the back. Aw-
ful gas bloating crowded my heart.
World's Tonic helped right away. Now
1 eat sausage, bananas, pie, anything I
want and never felt better.”—Mrs F.
A. Stewart of 1025 Johson Ave. Kit-
taning, Pa. Two things happen when
vou are constipated. FIRST: Accumu-
lated wastes swell up bowels and press
on nerves in the digestive tract.
SECOND: partly digested food starts
to decay, forming GAS, bringing on
sour stomach, indigestion, and heart-
burn, bloating you up until you some-
times gasp for breath. World's Tonic
gives double relief with DOUBLE
ACTION. World's Tonic releives
STOMACH GAS almost at once. It
often clears bowels in less than two
hours. No gripping, no after effects,
just quick results. Skillful blending of
roots and herbs with valuable alkalines
enables World's Tonic to help pre-
vent premature aging which poisons
accumulating from constipation may
ring on. Get World’s Tonic at Patton
Drug Co., Patton, Pa. and at all other
up-io-date Drug stores.

pletely loathed and revolted against,— | vation, and by being an example to us
go to His death in the prime of His
youth, with His life ambitious unful-
filled, and that, at the nands of his
cruel and contemptible enemies in a
most disgraceful and humiliating man-
ner. No wonder that He was “sick unto
death” over the prospect, and fell
down upon His face in bitter agony
and disappointment and chagrin and
sorrow and heartbreak, and cried out
in such awful urgency of spirit against
in that perspiration poured down His
pain-distorted face like as though it
were great drops of blood coursing
down from a wonud,—and cried out
with “bitter cries and tears” to God
that He would save Him from such
an awful experience: My God, if it be
possible, let this cup (experience) pass
{rom me.”
He was learning, by what He suffer-
ed, how to obey. And, when that awful
suffering had reoriented his mind, he
said, quietly, and resignedly, “Not my
will but Thine be done,” and went on
a new track to His life-destiny and to
His perfection and His God-minded-
ness and-likeness, and to the “joy that
-was set before Him.” For because “He
humbly stooped in His obedience even
to die upon the cross, therefore God
raised Him high and conferred Him
a Name above all names,”— and Je-
sus had certainly earned the right to
that honor and distinction. He had
done the will of His Father against
awful odds,—against those multitudes
of things that tended to hold him
back, things that appeared to be legi-
timate and logical and sensible and
desirable to any mind that would ra-
tionalize the situation—He went on
in spite of every apparently good and
sensible argument that the wisdom of
ordinary men could advance agalnst
going on,—and, by going on, He won
his soul and worked out His own sal-
|
in like circumstances, gave us an ever-
lasting exemplification and illustra- |
tion of how we are to work out our
own.
“Except ye come aftre me ye cannot
be my disciple.” Meaning that we have
to go the same way that he did, over
the same path of self-denial and obe-
dience to our salvation that He went
to His. No favors were shown, no par-
tiality was given to Jesus, “Son though
he was he had to walk the same rcad
that everyone else walked,” for “God
ig no respector of persons“ If Jesus
had refused to go the way of all flesh,
then he would have failed in his great
mission,—just as would anyone else
who had refused to follow his nigh-
est instincts to His high destiny.
But He did change his direction
from self-will to an accordance with
the will of God; He did keep on the
way of salvation himself; He did learn
by his mistakes and the mistakes of
others; He did fight successfully again-
st his lower instincts; He did resist his
temptations and overcome the gravita-
tional down-pull and stand up under
his tests and trials, “and by being thus
perfected He became the source of sal-
vation for all who follow him.”
“By being thus perfected!” So Jesus
was going on to perfection just as any-
one else goes, and grows, who keeps
his face toward God. Jesus grew in
spiritual stature and wisdom.
“He became.” So Jesus “became”, as
all people become better and better
as life advances and lessons are learn-
ed and truth is arrived at, and per-
sonality is developed.
“It is as He suffered by his tempta-
tions that he is able to help the temp-
ted.” So Jesus stands, with all the rest
of the children of God, a testimony to
the humanizing influence of suffering,
in times of trial, and its power to open
ing for the similarly afflicted.
“God perfected the Pioneer, (Jesus)
of their salvation by SUFFERING.”
And so are we all thus perfected.
“For Sanctifier, (Jesus) and sanc-
tified have all one origin.” We are all
brothers and sisters of Jesus in tne
great family of God,—children of our
common Father,—all: potential gods
and fellow-associates of the Faiher-
God.
